Background GSA published a notice in the August 2, 2004, Federal Register to make this requirement available to the public and requested comments. One respondent submitted comments in response to the notice. The commenter believes that the information collection requirement for the industrial funding fee and sales reporting could be conducted every two years in order to save taxpayers dollars. In response, collection of the industrial funding fee and sales information every two-year jeopardizes the Government ability to effectively manage the Federal Supply Schedules Program. The Government collects the data quarterly in order to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the schedule program and to negotiate better prices based on volume, which saves taxpayers dollars. As a result of collecting the data quarterly, the Government has the ability to provide upon request current schedule sales information to the federal agencies and the public. B.
